I'll have to see if I can estimate the size. I hadn't been to Claudio's site in a long time. He was commissioned to do the Star Trek models, www.thinkgeek.com/product/f49d/, and I stopped dropping in. I had been collecting images of the Weasley House thinking I might try to do something similar, and I was surprised to see that he had done one.

Doors seem to be around 2 inches tall, which would normally make me think it needs to be reduced to 75% of its current size.

However, the actors are always ducking going through the doors. Printing two pages per page would work if these were Letter, but they are A4. So, I'd print at 72% to 73%, or reduce by that amount and shift things around on the pages

cowboyleland: Now I have seen it. It doesn't advance our hobby, but anyone with half a brain who wanted 2nd rate figures could easily figure this out for themselves so I guess he isn't doing any harm.Mar 19, 2019 17:53:59 GMT -9

berneart76: well, this is fun, (not) transferring all my papercrafting sets into the cloud. The stuff I got from DriveTrhruRPG was simple with their library desktop app,but my other stuff, sometimes with multiple duplicate copies is entertaining.Mar 1, 2019 15:44:32 GMT -9

berneart76: Vermin King I usually use a mix of drybrush/watercolor/photocopy and occasionally posterizing at different levels of opacity.Feb 26, 2019 20:46:54 GMT -9

berneart76: Vermin King, that's similar to the enhancing that I do on my texturing. I've found that sometimes I need to scale up or scale down the image (usually by 50 or 25 percent down or 200 or 300 percent up) to make get the enhancements to look "right"Feb 26, 2019 20:44:53 GMT -9

Vermin King: On the zebras, I did multiple enhancements and cartoon filters and used them at 100%, and they still didn't look that different than the photosFeb 26, 2019 12:27:26 GMT -9

Vermin King: When I make a figure or terrain piece based on a photo, I clean it up and align things to look 'right', then I create another layer and do enhancing and cartoonizing on it. I then adjust opacity over the photo image until it looks good. On the zebras, Feb 26, 2019 12:26:35 GMT -9

Vermin King: berneart76, do you mean giving them green or purple manes and tails? and a few piercings? maybe a cig hanging out of their mouths?Feb 26, 2019 12:24:18 GMT -9

Vermin King: And due to the snow, I'm off tonight. I am going to miss the cash on the paycheck, but I'm glad they want their employees to be safeFeb 15, 2019 10:52:24 GMT -9

ignatious: Actually I was referring to the two previous posts. I was trying to be subtle in order to sublimate the crassness. Read them again, but in Mel Brooks voice while he is winking, and nudging the person to his right.Feb 9, 2019 13:38:11 GMT -9

cowboyleland: We hadn't had snow for a few days. Last night the plow came down my street and did nothing but fill every ones driveways back in. Just for practice, I guess.Feb 8, 2019 7:48:16 GMT -9

Vermin King: In KC we had an ice storm (with thunder sleet) the other night. Left things drivable, but last night the plow came down my street. They took all the rough edges off. Might as well have ran a Zamboni...Feb 8, 2019 6:42:32 GMT -9
